CHiKA

CHiKA is a Japanese-born, New York-based New Media Artist.
Working as a graphic designer and her experience in real time video performance for a decade in New York City has strongly influenced her artistic practice, shifting it from a one-way communication channel with the audience into an inclusive experience that uses technology to establish a moment of co-creation with the public.
Her work creates what she describes as the symphony of light: creating minimalist geometric shapes and visuals that explore in dark space and inviting people to reinvent themselves through the relationship between objects and images. Light and sound are the main elements she uses in her installations, which are ultimately a visual performance that experimenting improvisational communication and immediate interaction with the audience in real time.
